Bought a Car From a Neighbor? The Title Transfer Goes Inside in Hondo

At the Hondo tax-office drive-thru, basic tax payments and regular registration are the lane's main jobs. For title transfers, go inside the office.

TxDMV says a private-sale vehicle must be titled in the buyer's name within 30 days. If possible, have the seller come with you to the county tax office.

Bring the signed title, proof of insurance, ID, and any support papers. Tax-office windows are available in Hondo, Devine, and Castroville. Call first if the paperwork is messy or unusual.
